CSF－1R部分基因在大肠杆菌中表达、抗融合蛋白血清制备及丝氨酸／苏氨酸磷酸化的初步研究

鼠巨噬细胞集落刺激因子－１受体（ｍＣＳＦ－１Ｒ）部分序列与质粒ｐＧＥＸ－２Ｔ谷胱苷肽转移酶（ＧＳＴ）融合，融合蛋白ＧＳＴ－ＣＤ－Ｐｓｔ（胞浆区），ＧＳＴ－ＣＴｅｒｍ（Ｃ－末端）和ＧＳＴ－ＫＩ（激酶插入区）成功地在大肠杆菌ＪＭ１０９株表达。初步结果指出：（１）ＧＳＴ－融合蛋白在体外激酶分析中可以作为底物；（２）由ＰＫＡ导致的磷酸化可能具有生理学意义；（３）ｍＣＳＦ－１Ｒ被ＣＫＩＩ磷酸化。３２Ｐ标记ＧＳＴ－ＣＤ－Ｐｓｔ的磷酸氨基酸分析证实，ｍＣＳＦ－１Ｒ的胞浆区丝氨酸上被磷酸化，已制备抗ＧＳＴ－ＣＴｅｒｍ，ＧＳＴ－ＫＩ和ＧＳＴ－ＣＤ－Ｐｓｔ兔抗体。抗血清的筛选通过野生型３２Ｄ－ＣＳＦ－１Ｒ转染子免疫沉淀进行。     

M受体亚型放射配基结合－免疫沉淀分析方法的建立及考核

利用１％洋地黄皂甙溶解大鼠脑匀浆Ｍ受体，用非选择性配基３Ｈ－ＱＮＢ标记可溶性Ｍ受体，以自制的Ｍ１、Ｍ２亚型抗血清和固相二抗分别特异性地免疫沉淀相应的亚型，分析单一受体亚型。对方法进行了考核，包括受体的溶解效率、抗原抗体反应时间、抗血清稀释度、反应温度等对分析结果的影响。对大鼠脑Ｍ受体的试验表明，用两种亚型抗血清进行的免疫沉淀分析呈典型的单位点饱和曲线，抗体对配基与受体的结合反应无影响。     

Immunoprecipitation coupled with HPLC–MS/MS to discover the aromatase ligands from Glycyrrhiza uralensis

Affinity chromatography, applied to discover the enzyme inhibitors, needs special column with target protein and its carrier. Selection of stationary phase and mobile phase needs careful considerations due to the characteristics of proteins. In this study, a method immunoprecipitation (IP) coupled with HPLC-DAD–MS was developed to discover the aromatase ligands from Glycyrrhiza uralensis. An SB-C18 column was employed to separate target compounds without special consideration in mobile phase. Twenty-one compounds, including isolated compounds 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 18–20, 23 and non-isolated compounds A-J, were found to have good affinity to aromatase by LC–MS. Seven of them (7, 15, 18, 19, 23, D, E) were detected to bind with aromatase in MCF-7 cells by IP coupled with HPLC–MS/MS. Bioassays disclosed aromatase inhibitory activities of the isolated compounds mentioned above, verifying the efficiency of IP coupled with HPLC–MS/MS as a method to screen aromatase ligands.     

基于染色质免疫共沉淀的高通量测序数据集的 顺式调控模体发现算法

针对新一代测序（NGS）的染色质免疫共沉淀的高通量测序（ChIP-Seq）数据集的模体发现问题,提出一种基于费舍尔（Fisher）精确检验的模体发现算法——FisherNet。首先运用费舍尔精确检验计算所有k长短序的P值并筛选出模体的种子;然后,构建初始模体的位置赋权矩阵;最后,用位置赋权矩阵扫描所有k长短序形成最终模体。通过小鼠胚胎干细胞（mESC）和红细胞、人类淋巴母细胞系的ChIP-Seq数据集以及ENCODE数据库的数据进行验证,结果表明所提算法精度和计算速度均高于其他常见的模体发现算法,并且能够发现超过80%的已知转录因子核心模体及其辅调控因子模体。该算法在保证高精度的同时可以应用到大规模测序数据集。
